security update 009 screwed the fonts

[oober_freak]

The fonts in Safari and Adium are over-lapping.. and the text isn't even highlighting properly. I tried everything.. repaired permissions, deleted the preference files. ran macjanitor..

Fonts in apps like Mail and even dashboard are overlapping.. in some cases, words are getting eaten up. Ofcourse, all third-party apps except Adium are working and rendering fonts perfectly.

I even re-installed the 10.4.3 update.. but to no avail


pls help me.. how do I go back




this is what i get

Well your site works fine for me and I haven't see any problems with 10.4.3 with all the updates. You sure its not your third party applications that you are running? It looks like you're running a theming application.

And you can't really go back unless you reinstall everything again.

I was thinking it might be your 'skinning' software too...

thanks for the replies.

I un-installed shapeshifter demo too.. but to no avail

this problem has appeared only after i installed that darned security update 2005-009 this morning. Any possible way I can revert back?

 

[oober_freak]

The problem is solved

I guessed that some fonts that were installed by any third party app may be faulty.. so I re-named the fonts directory in my home folder... voila.. it worked

And i had installed Microsoft Office 2004 this morning.. another reason why NOT to use microsoft products

Who would have thought, ey? Haha!

OH well you should have just stated that you installed an MS product in the first place and that would be the end of it.

Glad you fixed it, sry i couldn't have been more help.
